UPDATE: I installed the game on my old rig (specs below) to see if the problem was hardware specific; it is *not* - the same problem cropped up.
Spun up the game, jumped into an old save game, walked around a bit, talked to a few characters, hit the Quicksave button and...FREEZE.
Restarted the game, deleted all old saves, started two new characters/new campaign, jumped into the game, Autosave and...FREEZE.
Reload (the new, autosave) save game, walked around a bit, got into a fight, hit Quicksave and...FREEZE.
Specifications of old rig:
- i7 4790k
- 2x8GBs GSkill DDR3 2100
- nVidia GTX980/8GBs (390.65 drivers)
- Samsung 850 Pro, 1TB
- Windows 10x64 Pro
All current, official, WHQL drivers;
No overclocking/overvolting.
Any ideas?
P.S.
I tried both the GOG and Steam versions on this rig, as well.
